Based Tchaikovsky. If anyone reading this hasn’t read his stuff, you’re missing out.
He’s one of the absolute best.
What’s his work like? Reading some of the descriptions on his site it sounds like it has some horror elements.
Definitely a lot of horror elements in the few I’ve read (Children of Time + sequels, Cage of Souls). I’ve only just scratched the surface, the man is a writing machine, but it does seem to be a trend so far.
He blends genres a lot and even his own work is kind of eclectic and all over the place, but his worldbuilding and the ability to take a totally alien concept and make it utterly believable are just top notch.
Btilliantly written and wonderfully evocative. Children of Time is so full of feeling, creativity and imagination.
There’s some horror bits, but it never over shadows. I’d say he’s one of the best sci-fi authors alive today.
I would also throw in Dogs of War and Bear Head, but really everything he writes is great.
I tried reading the Cage of Souls series after absolutely loving the Children of Time series, but I couldn’t really get into it. Do you recommend any of his other works?
If you want something short and easy, try Elder Race. It’s a novella, but very well done. The good thing about him is that he’s so prolific, there’s a lot to choose from.
Thank you! Yes, but with so much to choose from it can be hard to get through the weeds. I will check that out.
Also “One day all will be yours” - short, fun and quite clever.
I’ve enjoyed his Expert System short stories. Reading Shards of Time right now and having a hard time getting hooked.
I’ll check them out, thanks!
